Music of the United States of America (publications)

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 3 min

MUSA (Music of the United States of America) is a 41-volume series of critical editions of American music, representing the full range of genres and idioms that have contributed to American musical culture.[1] It was established by the American Musicological Society in 1988[2] and is hosted by the University of Michigan at its American Music Institute. The criteria used in developing MUSA volumes are:

  • That the series as a whole reflect breadth and balance among eras, genres, composers and performance media
  • That it avoid music already available through other channels, duplicating only where new editions of available music seem essential
  • That works in the series be representative, chosen to reflect particular excellence or to represent notable achievements in this country's highly varied music history[3]

MUSA receives funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and is published by A-R Editions of Madison, Wisconsin.[4] The founding editor-in-chief of MUSA is Richard Crawford, and the current editors-in-chief are Mark Clague (University of Michigan) and Gayle Magee (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign).
